Local terminolgy, anhydro. Often these have water contained in them. Usually with an air bubble. They are lined with botryoidal lining. Years ago before getting into tumbling I found a whole pocket full of these, surrounding a bunch of hollow corals. Must get more and try tumbling them with the water contained. They are usually thin walled and have to be tumbled gently.

Enhydro is not just local terminology, widely used to describe crystals etc with bubbles of water in them.

Those are awesome! Even more so if you can preserve some with the water in them!

Those are so neat! Enhydro Quartz is what I've seen at shows, and I couldn't even see the bubble! You have treasure:)

Enhydro is proper spelling, anhydrous is my erronious spelling LOL. So it is local spelling I suppose. Glad you guys liked it.
